THE VICTIMS OF ouININE.
An InsidIous Drug which Eniivens but
Does Not Intoxicate. =

An InsidIous Drug which Eniivens hut
Does Not Intoxicate-
A young man with a pale face, close
clipped hair, graceful mustache, deXterous
white hands, and clad in the neatest at
tire sauntered into u Fifth street drug
store yesterday forenoon and glanced Mt
that corner of the room where the
mineral water spigots were displayed
''He's lily, but he's gone on the drug"
whispered clerk whose duty it Didn't
chance to be to wait on him. ''s5ee, he
don't even have to ask for what he
wants." continued the clerk, as another
capsule shooter nimbly tripped up to
the customer, produced jar OF pills,
poured out couple, and presented them
To the customer with u glass of mineral
water to furnish them transportation.
The customer swallowed the pills and
mineral water as though they had been a
part of his daily food ever since the war.
They were evidently to him what the gin
and NORWOOD bracer is to the saloon
pet, and he bowed and smiled ON the pro-
prictor as he turned on his heel and dis
appeared. His shadow YVES still in sight
when n thin, cadaveroUs looking man,
wearing unmistakable signs of ninstrelsy
IA plug hat that WAS not new and yards
of hair on the edges of his coat-entcred
the door. He was u stranger in the place
and he had to ask in his artless, burnt
cork way for quinine pills before the nc
commodating clerk brought down the jar
of little pellets. He took three, and, as
IN economic measure, undertook to make,
away with them without the mineral
water accompaniment. They lodged, and
he bean in disturbed tone, as the clerk
was presenting his change:
'"lake out for u glass"-
Eyes, there is an increased demand for
quinine," said the clerk who had called
attention to the first customer. at Is
just like the drinking habit with men, the
demand gradually increases. The Gus
toners for quinine are, in the main, peo-
pie who consider the use of Intoxicating
liquors u terrible vice. They are people
of frail physique, whom few hours
work exhausts. They discover that qui-
nine is an appetizer for them, and they
begin taking small doses of it. IL four
grains brighten them up in the beginning,
it will take more than u dozen grains to
produce the same effect in year. Most
of them drop into n drug shopin the even
ing, while ON their way home to dinner,
and get dose of quiuine pills proper
toned in size to the time they have been
slaves to the habit. 1t completely knocks
out confirmed feeder ON the insidious
drug to stop using it, and only n few ever
make the attempt.
''The ladies', too, are quinine consum-
ers More of them than you would ever
suspect drop in after the matinee or after
they have made long and tiresomc round
shopping to enliven themselves with the
seductive quinine pill. There are not
many ladies who are killing themselves
with the stuff, like many frIil clerks and
business men are st. Louis Republican.

full and pretty. After this dance the chill

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers. as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features Especially is this the case with
Green's august Foacer and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size. The
august Flsarer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries Sam

Shooting Affair.

A difficulty took place on Saturday
night at Jessup's Cut, between Charles
Hammond a we'll known politician of that
place and William Mcrson an employee in
the canning factory of j. W. Lowcamp's
at Jessup's, in which Merson was severely
shot in the head by Hammond. Both men
it appears were under the influence of
liquor, and got into dispute ever an old
feud that had existed between them, when
Hammond drew from his pocket revolv-
er, saying at the same time, that he would
settle the matter and opened fire on Mer-
son. Two of the shots struck Merson on
the forehead, making severe scalp wounds.
Hammond was arrested after the shooting
and taken before Justice John T. Clarke,
who held him in $3.50 bail for his appear
ance before court. Merson was taken to
his home and DIR. Andersen was called in
to dress his wounds, who thought them
rather serious but not necessarially fatal.
